CDFA Guidance on COVID-19 and the Food Supply

Note: A more recent version of the letter can be found here.

In response to the Governor’s stay at home order, it is still critical that those working in agriculture continue to show up to work unless directed otherwise by an employer.

From pasture to plate and farm to fork, all of California agriculture is an “essential service” during a state of emergency, including the current COVID-19 crisis.

For more information and guidance read the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s best practice guideline for food producers and manufacturers during this time.
